AGREED!

Damn gorbies. Ummm...what's a gorbie?

Dude you have the coolest toys.

I'm off to do some exploring next week on the FTR from Cochrane north. Not sure how far I'll venture but I have a full week. I'm wondering if anyone has any reports of hazards in any areas (other than the normal stuff) that I should keep in mind? i.e. frequent bear sightings, cougar sightings, sasquatch, etc.

Oh yeah that's right, it was all access due to the fires.

Thanks Harps. I was just thinking what the heck does one do when the people you report do don't care? I suppose everyone has a boss, you just have to figure out who it is. Mine is my wife.

There was some temporary closures a year or two back wasn't there? I think that may have been driven by the fire hazard though.

Sounds like you had the same run in I had years ago although there were no guns. The response from the RCMP infuriates me. Making a point of feeling threatening by someone with a rifle (registered or not on his land or not using the gun for legitamate reasons or not) should be taken a little, no a LOT more seriously regardless of who started it.

I haven't seen it yet, highest I've seen so far is 16.

Go back and look for tracks.

Good on ya for being the bigger guy and letting it slide. Shame on them for the attitude.

Looks photoshopped to me too. But still a nice fish.

I have seen a deer dead in a river before as well as a cow, birds, and something I couldn't identify - I think it was a skunk.

I just downloaded FlySim, a cool little fly fishing simulator. It's kind of fun. http://www.flysim.com/

Check the prices, last time I checked it was just a touch more and the boat came with a guide. But I could be mistaken.

Great report, love the bully with the cutty in its mouth.

Cataract, small ponds around as well.

I didn't know a canoe could go fast enough to require airbags.

I noticed today my bear spray has expired. Does this stuff actually expire? I really don't want to test it on an actual encouter. Perhaps I could mace myself and see what happens.

That reminds of a joke from my wife's cousin's kid: What kind of bee give milk? . . . . Boo bees! I know it's terrible.

I gotta check this out.

Thanks everyone. And some sci-fi as well. Nice! Where can you find "WHAT FISH SEE"? I've never heard of it and certainly have never seen it.

Nice! They are fun aren't they?

I've read all of Jim McLennan's books, Barry Mitchell's FTR book, Match the Hatch, and a few others. I'm on the hunt for something new to read. Any suggestions?

I picked mine up at London Drugs.
